I looked at more than 100 pages of St. Lucie County sheriff candidate Steven Giordano’s personnel records, including a critical internal affairs report complied nearly 10 years ago.
The Democratic nominee for county sheriff calls almost all of its findings false.
Steven Giordano worked at the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy in the jail from 2005 until he resigned in 2015 following an internal affairs investigation.
“A lot of false allegations were made,” said Giordano. “And I’m here to make sure this does not happen to anyone else ever again.”
Now, he’s running to lead the department he left.
Giordano agreed to sit down with me to talk about those allegations from an internal affairs report that cited him for “association with criminals.”
